How does conveyancing in Malmesbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Malmesbury approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Malmesbury usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Malmesbury or who has acted in the same development.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Malmesbury from the perspective of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Malmesbury can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Malmesbury leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. If you fail to have the consents to hand you should not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer first. Some Malmesbury leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Organising a new share certificate can be a time consuming formality and slows down many a Malmesbury conveyancing deal. If a duplicate share is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if relevant) for this sooner rather than later. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check by asking your solicitors. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to where the remaining number of years is under 80 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.
